I bought some steel "Lucas" headlight bowls to replace the knackered ones on my series and a few weeks later bought some new light units to go with as the glass fell off the ones that were fitted. All parts arrived and went on the ever expanding pile of new bits to go on when the rebuild commences. After some earache about the front bedroom looking like a scrapyard I decided to build the lights up to reduce the number of boxes in the room, and that's when the joy started. The lights are Wipac and look good the "Lucas "parts are Hmm at best. The bezel is roundish and looks like rust will be problem after 3 seconds of rain, the bowl actually looks OK but the adjuster plate OMG! After 10 mins fighting it to get it on the adjuster posts I was wondering why it was wet.....and red oh ffs tissue please, yep cut on the razor like pressing. Anyway I found the screw pack in the bottom of the box wrapped in a piece of newspaper, alarms going off now, from India Arrgh fecking knock off item I have had for months and no chance of sending it back now 
The adjuster plate had to be beaten into submission just to get it on the 3 spring loaded posts, that's when the bleeding started, and it just will not rotate and lock into position. I can see a rage incident coming up and them ending up in the bin.
Anyone know of any decent ones, I would prefer steel because it's more proper lol Thanks
